Charlie Hunnam Admits He ‘Almost Stepped’ on Zendaya’s Prada Gown at the 2026 Emmys

Zendaya graced the red carpet at the 2026 Emmys in an exquisite custom gown by Prada, capturing the spotlight as she arrived for the prestigious awards ceremony. Nominated for her outstanding performance as a lead actress in the drama series ‘Euphoria’, Zendaya not only showcased her acting skills but also made a significant fashion statement with her outfit and a stunning new pixie haircut.

The Emmy Awards took place at the Peacock Theater in California on September 14th, and it was here that fellow actor Charlie Hunnam had a close call with Zendaya’s impressive ensemble. During an interview with E! before the show, Hunnam revealed that he almost stepped on Zendaya’s gown due to the busy atmosphere on the red carpet. “I almost stepped on her dress. Could you imagine? Devastating,” he remarked, recounting the chaotic moments surrounding Zendaya’s arrival.

Hunnam explained that the rush of people, including security details, made navigating the red carpet particularly challenging. “She was being ushered at full speed through the crowd by a little squadron of bodyguards,” he noted. Just as he stepped back to avoid the commotion, he narrowly missed trampling her gown. “Thankfully I didn’t… my wife looked at me like, ‘Dude, don’t be a dork’,” he added, showing relief at having avoided a fashion faux pas.

Zendaya’s gown, a dazzling creation adorned with shimmering silver sequins and elegant appliqués, featured a captivating low-cut neckline complemented by sheer fabric and a mini train. Her stylist, Law Roach, ensured that every aspect of her look was meticulously planned and executed. Alongside her striking gown, Zendaya adorned herself with luxurious diamond jewellery, including a Rolex watch and Mikimoto earrings boasting an impressive 4.40 carats, adding a touch of glamour to her appearance.

In addition to the stunning gown, Zendaya’s chic pixie haircut was a focal point of her ensemble that evening. The actress recently unveiled this new look, which was first glimpsed during her appearance at a Prada event in New York City. At the Emmys, her hair was styled with an effortless texture and lift, accentuating her bright earrings and enhancing her overall elegance with a natural makeup look featuring soft pink blush and matching lipstick.

Stylist Law Roach was also in attendance at the Emmys, and he faced questions about Zendaya’s relationship with fellow actor Tom Holland. Earlier in the year, Roach had mentioned during the Actor Awards that Zendaya and Holland had already tied the knot. However, he has since clarified the situation, stating, “I actually lied; she wasn’t married. They actually haven’t had an official ceremony yet.” Roach mentioned that the couple’s wedding would take place following the press tour for the film ‘Dune’.

Roach reaffirmed his statement when queried further about the couple’s marital status, expressing, “No, the wedding hasn’t happened. Not yet.” His comments suggest that fans can look forward to an official ceremony in the future, despite earlier speculation. In a recent interview with Esquire, Holland appeared to suggest otherwise, hinting at an already existing marriage, which has added to the intrigue surrounding their relationship.

As the 2026 Emmys unfolded, Zendaya’s presence and her compelling performance in ‘Euphoria’ were hard to overlook. Her ability to captivate audiences both on and off-screen continues to solidify her status as a trendsetter and respected figure in the entertainment industry. The night marked yet another significant milestone in her career, showcasing not only her talent in acting but also her influence in fashion.

With the awards night behind her, fans and the media eagerly await news of not only her next projects but also any updates on her highly-anticipated wedding to Tom Holland. Whether he was joking or simply keeping the excitement alive, Roach’s comments have undoubtedly left many curious about the couple’s future and the next chapter in their relationship.
